A laying hen farm in Yeongcheon, Gyeongbuk, South Korea, has experienced an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, leading to concerns about the stability of egg supply. However, the laying hen industry reassures that there is no cause for anxiety as the impact on domestic supply and demand is minimal, and the number of laying hens in Korea is expected to stabilize this winter. Additionally, egg prices are weakening, and the industry is managing the situation by extending egg production and controlling the number of layings hens culled in anticipation of the Lunar New Year holiday. The industry also emphasizes the need for stable communication and coordination with hatcheries, production farms, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to ensure a consistent supply of laying hens and stable egg prices.
